Cloete's overall conclusions come as a shock, for there has been nothing quite so blunt said about Africa in years: "The black man hates the white . . . The African, once he can read and write, will seldom pick up anything dirtier than a fountain pen or heavier than a pencil. He is evolved, an intellectual ..." These half-educated Africans fall easily for Communist propaganda. Africa therefore must be bound to the West to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Communist East. Any idea of holding the African down permanently, as South Africa is trying...
Steiger, 54, a blunt bundle of energy, is Switzerland's No. 1 architect. Last week he and his partner-son, Peter Steiger, were busy checking blueprints for a mammoth Steiger-designed atomic laboratory near Geneva. Commissioned by the twelve-nation European Council for Nuclear Research, the laboratory will cover 90 acres, will incorporate such new-age elements as a synchrocyclotron and a 25 billion electron-volt proton-synchrotron (TIME...
...blunt Henry Wriston said, "an admirable appointment." A tough-minded scholar with often unattainably high standards, Barney Keeney has long seemed marked for success. At the University of North Carolina he was a star trackman and the top student in his class.

Pakistan is not ripe for democracy. These illiterate peasants certainly know less about running a country than I do." Mirza joined India's raj, or ruling class, when the British sent him to Sandhurst military college in 1918. There he got to be a crack rifle shot...
...take three ships to the New World there to work for the greater glory of the 'British Empah." But the weary pan-amorous Elizabeth, who lost Errol Flynn back in the first film, likes the cut of Raleigh's jib- and his beard too. He is blunt, charming, gay, adventurous and never forgets to throw his cloak over mud puddles. He accepts the job of captain of the palace guard, i.e., the Queens pet, in the hope that some day his ships will go out. But before long Raleigh has to fight it out with a couple...
